Miranda Rights

A psychologist testified at a pre-trial hearing Monday that Pedro Hernandez – who admitted killing a 6-year-old New York City boy who went missing 35 years ago – had a sufficient understanding of his Miranda rights.

A statement given to police by one of the juveniles charged in the execution-style slayings of three friends in 2007 is not admissible because he wasn’t adequately informed of his Miranda rights, a state appeals court ruled today.
